Wow (E46 M3 CSL Replica)
Check these out, awesome, I wish they made them for the Mini, everyone mail and tell them to make them for the Mini.
They make them for the BMW 3series (E46), like $700-800 for all four wheels.

I would buy them if they made them for the mini in 17's. As the 18's on e46's look more like 19's

Like most wheels, they wouldn't look as good when changed to a high offset FWD application.

I really think some Ferrari Challenge Stradale wheels would look good on a mini.

Usually that's true for wheels with large lips...but these wheels don't have
lips. I think for the MINI application, it would look similar to the front
wheels of that 330I.

Would anyone be interested?
Maybe they'd start making them if there is enough interest.

I would be interested in 17's and were light weight.
They remind me of the bbs RC's.

"Similar" is in the eye of the beholder.
Certainly not "identical".
Well, just keep shopping around to find the right look at the right price.

I would Definetly get them if they were for MINIs. My only question is if they aren't, how did you get a pic of them on one?

That's a photoshop job. Note the 5 lugs. Pretty simple to do with that software.

At one point there were some replica R90 wheels floating around, but I can't remember who made them. Those would be cool as well.
I do really like those new Competition wheels shown above.

um, I think we all know it's a photochop.
just an idea to see if one
can put it into tangible form.
There are ways to change lug pattern by changing rotors though...

If there were enough orders though I imagine they would make them in a four bolt pattern. Or they could just make 1 or 2 sets and have them cost $200 dollars more, I would even pay that considering some of the wheels I have been looking at ....mmmm hartges....mmmm..
Are twice that much.
I really like these.
